Description : Package rtnetlink provides low-level access to the Linux rtnetlink API.
Package rtnetlink allows the kernel's routing tables to be read and
altered. Network routes, IP addresses, Link parameters, Neighbor setups,
Queueing disciplines, Traffic classes and Packet classifiers may all be
controlled. It is based on netlink messages.
.
A convenient, high-level API wrapper is available using package rtnl
(https://godoc.org/github.com/jsimonetti/rtnetlink/rtnl).
.
The base rtnetlink library explicitly only exposes a limited low-level
API to rtnetlink. It is not the intention (nor wish) to create an
iproute2 replacement.
